Type: Virtual labLanguage: EnglishAuthor: Triangle Research InternationalDescription: Although "i-TRiLOGI" is a comercial software for programming PLCs from TRiLOGI company, there is a free educational version of it for teachers and students. This software allows user to design a ladder program using many functions, and simulate it without needing the real PLC, throught a easy interface. Thus, it is suitable for beginners in PLC programming.

Type: Virtual Lab., Software toolLanguage: EnglishAuthor: Research Group in Robotics, Ai2, UPVDescription: VirtualRobot is a freeware software suite for graphical simulation of robotic cells based on OpenGL under Microsoft Windows operating systems, useful for robotics application, research and education. It allows programming, monitoring and simulating multi-robot cells on the control system GENERIS (Generalised Software Control System for Industrial Robots).

Type: Software toolLanguage: EnglishAuthor: EcavaDescription: IntegraXor is a software to create SCADA applications based on Web technology and SVG graphics. A demo version and the documentation are available for free access.

Type: Virtual Lab., SimulationLanguage: EnglishAuthor: Conrad BraamDescription: Modbus PLC Simulator is a graphical application that simulates a Modbus slave or server, and it is a very useful program for developing, testing and learning automation and SCADA/HMI applications working with Modbus protocols, without the necessity of real devices. It supports Modbus RTU and TCP/IP protocols, simulates AllenBradley DF1 slave and master, and supports VBA/Java scripting. The application is available for free download (GPL license), and open source. Documentation for users and developers also are available in the web.

Type: Web course, Virtual Lab, Video/animation.Language: English,PortugueseAuthor: Paulo Moura Oliveira, Carlos Mendes, Luís Iria, E. J. Solteiro Pires, J. Boaventura Cunha, Elton Matias (Univ. De Tras Os Montes E Alto Douro)Description: The overall objective of this internet-based tool is to provide fundamental aspects regarding GRAFCET presented with animated examples, promoting students self-learning. While originally this tool was developed to be used by Portuguese speakers, now it is also available in English. A very important feature of e-GRACFCET+, is to be prepared to work on most devices regardless of operating systems and screen sizes, such as smart-phones and tablets.

Type: Virtual LabLanguage: ENglishAuthor: Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD)Description: This portal offers a big collection of virtual labs about various disciplines of Science and Engineering, among which are included Computer Science & Engineering and Electrical Engineering. Within these categories, there are laboratories on Industrial Automation, PLCs, Sensors Modeling & Simulation, Electrical Machines, Image Processing, Pattern Recognition, Artificial intelligence, Mobile Robotics, etc. In addition to Labs, also documentation to support the experiments is available, including manuals, procedures, videos, or questions. This project is supported by the Indian Government, and multiple Indian Institutes of Technology.
